Suppose I were doing column chromatography with a column that could be stopped (it has a stopcock). How would my separation be affected if I started my column chromatography, and allowed my compounds to travel three-quarters down the column…but then I decided to wait a week to complete the separation?

A student properly sets up a column chromatography experiment. Although the mixture is soluble in the mobile phase, the sample appears "stuck" at the top of the column and will not elute regardless of how much solvent is applied. What could be the cause of this problem and what could the student do to try and achieve a successful separation?
What is the effect of mobile phase on each (known) sample when doing Gas Chromatography?
Why was it important that you marked the origin line and component locations on the paper chromatography with a pencil, and not a pen or marker?

What properties should the stationary-phase liquid for gas chromatography possess?
A chromatographic column is eluted with a solution containing a mixture of two components, X and Y. The chemical affinity of X for the stationary phase is less than that of Y and the chemical affinity for X for the mobile is greater than that of Y. Which substance will be eluted first?
